Admissions

The early action deadline for first-year, domestic students at Penn State Abington is November 1. Students who apply by this date will receive a decision by December 24. After November 1, Penn State reviews applications on a rolling basis.

Ready to become a Nittany Lion? The following information explains the next steps in the process, whether you are still deciding, or you've already committed to being a Penn Stater. 

• You are a first-year student if you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident who is currently in high school or has completed fewer than 18 college credits.
• You are an international student if you require any type of visa to attend Penn State. This includes students living inside and outside the United States.

Experience all the Penn State Abington has to offer by registering for a visit at our beautiful suburban campus located just 5 miles north of Philadelphia. We are excited to offer tour opportunities to prospective and admitted students and their families! 

In addition to campus tours, our office will be hosting Penn State Day, Students of Color Open House, Saturday Information Sessions, and an in-person Application Completion Workshop. 

You are a transfer student if you have attempted or completed 18 or more credits at another college or university after high school graduation.
